Weekend minipost: a project and guild is in sight

Finally, in Albion Online I've found a niche that would allow forming a guild and playing together with business-minded people. I will describe it somewhere next week. I'm a bit worried that the game is beta, so I don't want to lure you to join, just so they don't release or change drastically before release. So I'm unsure if I actually make the guild before release. But maybe I will, depending on how the game development is going.

I am surprised. I thought you would have dropped the game when you concluding Sandbox would secretly rig the gold market with the express aim of helping a manipulating the market giving an unfair advantage to some players.

@Dobablo: manipulating the gold prices is common practice and it's not "rigging", it's "monetizing". The difference is transparency: you can see the gold price and decide if you want to accept it or not. In case of rigging you have no choice because you have no information. For example no one would play League of Legends knowing that the outcome of the game is pre-selected, but they don't know that.
